I'm coaching a team of under 9's and 10year old team of ten platers. These girls are all at different levels I have a two players who played for the first time and two players who have come from junior courts, playing up into the main courts. My biggest struggle is out attacking area it is very weak and we can't get the ball from center pass into the third quarter we lose it with a turn over. When our defense gets the ball back we struggle to get it pass the center circle. I need help, suggestions and drills to help my girls to develop in the area by getting the ball down into our area.
I find its best to start simple. Showing them how to drive in angles, and teaching the different types of leads (v-lead, ball-side cut, back space, stop & pop) and the best times to use these to create space. Due to their age I would only introduce one at a time, these are how they will get free from defenders and create space, rather than just running away from the ball or just in straight lines.

Thank you very much, what drills from sports plan would you recommend?? I am still a new coach so I not sure what some of the wording means.
in more ways than one
Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
